This property is in a peaceful location surrounded by the Gavarre hills. The house is well equipped including a table tennis table and swimming pool toys for children. The gardens are beautiful with a variety of seating in the sun and shaded areas. There are a variety of beaches (driving distance) and towns to visit and Barcelona is a day trip away. I would highly recommend this villa.

Had a wonderful stay in beautiful Begur. The house is like an old fishermans cottage but in the centre of town. Lots of historic original features with charm and style. Bedrooms are all good sizes with 2 bathrooms. Decent sized outside space. Garden soft furnishings could do with replacing with the garden tidied up.
The house is moments from the restaurants and shops but in a quiet pedestrian street. Parking is a couple of minutes walk away as is the castle.
Begur has lots of fantastic walking trails to beaches and along the coast. Great holiday.
